I agree that notification via mapserver-dev would still be required even 
if we vote via bugzilla.

Well, my reasoning was that if we're worried about things like source 
code traceability then I think that to be consistent we should also 
worry about traceability of the votes that lead us to accepting (or 
rejecting) those changes to the code.

Agreed.

Discussion could still take place on the -dev list if it fits best there 
(bugs with 75 comments in them are as useless as long email list 
threads). My initial comment was more to suggest that we archive the 
actual vote in some place that's easy to find.
